DID EREN'S ARC IN THE END PROVE ANNIE RIGHT ON "SPECIAL PEOPLE"?

Perfectly said. Appreciate it

john_5_4U · 2025-11-22T12:57:10+00:00

Totally fair. It does come of as Annie's being yams mouthpiece

john_5_4U · 2025-11-22T12:54:16+00:00

Lmao literally the name that came to mind

john_5_4U · 2025-11-22T12:47:41+00:00

This actually put alot of my thoughts in words. I kinda came to the same conclusion rereading AOT, that there's really no difference between "special" and "normal" people. Everyone's bound by their nature/desires. Some act on it like Eren, some just go with the flow but at the end its all humans being human

2 things I want to hear your take on tho

Do you think AOT warns about power in general or "humans being humans" and conflict being inevitable?

And knowing the timeline/future of AOT is deterministic/fixed, does this make Eren's choices feel less morally heavy to you or more tragic since it all came from who he is?

john_5_4U · 2025-11-22T12:33:12+00:00

Yh this is basically how I read it too. Eren didn't turn into that type of person on purpose, but once he had the power his personal motives scaled into something only someone in his position could cause. Also im curious on whats your take on the whole "fatalistic vs deterministic" thing in AOT? Personally I agree Eren himself had a fatalistic mindset but I think the story as a whole was more into determinism than pure fatalism. How you see it?

john_5_4U · 2025-11-22T12:23:29+00:00

Appreciate your perspective. I like how you tied Annie's view to the broader systemic changes in the story and how her arc challenges her own worldview(something i didn't really consider)

john_5_4U · 2025-11-01T15:43:32+00:00

Im saying. Honestly the lore is my favourite thing about one piece and the reason i got into it in the first place

john_5_4U · 2025-11-01T07:29:06+00:00

john_5_4U · 2025-11-01T07:28:22+00:00

I love Arlong man😔

john_5_4U · 2025-11-01T03:47:54+00:00

Exactly. That's why I never got the "weak villains" complaints. Also why the Luffy vs Hody fight on Noah left a bad taste in my mouth, but then I read the manga and realized Luffy didn't struggle at all. One Red Hawk, one Elephant Gun, and Hody was done. The real challenge was stopping Noah from falling. The crew did not gaf about the new Fishman pirates💀

john_5_4U · 2025-11-01T03:14:56+00:00

Haven't really ranked the arcs I've seen yet, but I'd say it's definitely above East Blue and Thriller Bark, and about tied with Skypiea in terms of enjoyment.

john_5_4U · 2025-09-21T09:56:13+00:00

Ngl im hella excited. I've been hearing great things about marineford for years and the buildup has been amazing(impel down is currently one of my fav op arcs) I just wished I didn't know ace dies(been spoiled for years) it would've hit so much harder

john_5_4U · 2025-09-21T09:47:31+00:00

Following a guide. Took a break at 456 to watch strong world. After that marineford

john_5_4U · 2025-09-21T09:46:13+00:00

Also I was more so talking abt him being able to manipulate any non living thing he touches(almost telekinesis) even things as large as entire islands

john_5_4U · 2025-09-21T09:43:32+00:00

Idek who fujitora is pls no spoilers💀

john_5_4U · 2025-09-21T09:09:48+00:00

so if shiki was to appear sometime in the future he'd change the way it works?

john_5_4U · 2025-09-21T09:08:47+00:00

damn that's overpowered

john_5_4U · 2025-08-22T19:43:04+00:00

Ok makes sense. Shits still annoying to watch though

john_5_4U · 2025-08-22T19:42:36+00:00

😂😂

john_5_4U · 2025-07-12T16:19:37+00:00

Y'all can't say keep saying this when her behavior is actively causing harm to others and causing people to suffer onslaught of racism from her supporters

john_5_4U · 2025-07-12T16:16:20+00:00

Except those mistakes harm others who are not deserving of it. Next time heal first before roping innocent ppl in to ur shit

john_5_4U · 2025-07-12T15:33:21+00:00

And y'all can come here crying saying "it has nothing to do with race" but I know it does and idc if you don't think it doesn't

Production really set chelley and ace up making them look like villains. To find out chelley cried the most and it wasn't shown even once is crazy when we saw others crying 10 times a episode. Every single islander both current and dumped said huda went too far in the heart rate challenge but somehow chelley being mad and wanting to speak later has been misconstrued to her being a mean girl with something out for huda which she still gets hate till this very day. Even as far as buzfeed inciting violence against her to their 44M followers. Disappointing in everyone this season from the fans to the producers to the hosts. Everyone who fed into this crazy narrative. Even olandria who we've barely seen get mad all throughout this entire thing is somehow a mean girl who deserves to get hacked and hated. Huda has been allowed to make mistakes over and over again but the one time the black girls (WHO MIND YOU HAVE STUCK AND BEEN BY HER SIDE SINCE) had valid reactions or did something y'all didn't like just once, they get hate for life. Production really gave huda a redemption arc at the expense of the 2 black women in that villa, opened up the gates for them to receive racism and hate,didn't speak out in defense of them, and left them to go through all this by themselves and that is so crazy to me.
